Last week we left off at verse 18 as the religious leaders gave a command to stop preaching in Jesus name. Today we see the response from Peter and John as well as the impact that this form of persecution had on the church. Let’s just say, it didn’t go as the religious leaders had hoped.Pastor Jim Jacobson által

Peter and John were just following Jesus. They came upon this man who was in need of healing and in that moment were given the gift of faith and healing and Jesus healed the man. Now, they are going to get in trouble for it and be questioned by the authorities. And what we see is exactly what Jesus had told them. The Holy Spirit will speak. I will …

Today’s message focuses on a miracle healing, but it’s not just a single act, it’s more than that, as Jesus heals and offers the hope of salvation through the Apostle.Pastor Jim Jacobson által

How are we to understand that the Prince of Peace, Who’s birth was announced with the prospect of bringing peace on earth, said plainly that He didn’t come to bring peace, while at the same time the Bible promises that through Him we can have a peace that surpasses comprehension? Our apologies for the terrible recording this week.…

We have seen how the outpouring of the Spirit was a setup for the good news and the offer of salvation. Peter has stood up, and preached to the crowd. Today we are going to look at the effect of the inspired word.Pastor Jim Jacobson által

The Apostle Paul gives us a pattern to follow as we look for an open door of opportunity for ministry. (The Valdosta team report will be published separately)Pastor Jim Jacobson által

As the Holy Spirit has now arrived during the feast of Pentecost, God has gathered a crowd of religious Jews together, so that they can hear the gospel. This is the first act of the Christian church, and so it gives us an example of God’s priority–the message of Jesus.Pastor Jim Jacobson által

As we look at Acts 2:1-13, we see the birth of the church of Jesus Christ. These 120 are already saved, already in relationship with Jesus, but something more is about to happen...something that will change them and change the world.Pastor Jim Jacobson által

The book of Acts describes the birth of the Christian church–how it began and how it grew for the first three decades after Jesus’ ascension. It not only tells us how these things came into being, but gives us a model to follow.Pastor Jim Jacobson által

As we close out these final three chapters of Ecclesiastes, God’s purpose through Solomon’s writing becomes more clear. Time is fleeting, the end will arrive sooner rather than later, live with that truth in mind and be guided by the wisdom of God.Pastor Jim Jacobson által

As we continue this study in the book of Ecclesiastes, one of the things that I really appreciate about it, is how honest it is. Solomon is giving it his best shot… to understand life and purpose under the sun. The more we look at these lessons, the more we see the truth that he has uncovered… that life apart from God is futile, and wisdom, even gr…

As we look at chapters 4-6 Solomon is continuing his observations and pondering of the the futility of man’s labor under the sun. What is a man or woman’s purpose under the sun, and is there anything beyond what we see under the sun? These are his real questions. They are real questions, important questions that people continue to have.…

Solomon continues his study of the futility and meaninglessness of life under the sun and comes to some important conclusions.Pastor Jim Jacobson által

The opening chapter of this book of wisdom seems mostly depressing as one considers the futility of life under the sun.Pastor Jim Jacobson által

Today we are looking at the story of the resurrection. It’s not Easter Sunday, when we would normally look at this text, however it is appropriate every Sunday. In John chapter 20 we have the events of the first two Sundays and how four specific disciples interacted with Jesus.Pastor Jim Jacobson által

As we continue studying John’s gospel, once again we see God’s hand in every detail of the events as they unfold… all for His glory and to call attention to Jesus the Savior.Pastor Jim Jacobson által

Last week as we were looking at this passage, we focused on how Jesus was in Control of every aspect of the situation. He was in control of His person, the means of His death, the location, the declaration, and how all of this was evidenced by prophecy. We continue to see the prophetic aspects of what He is accomplishing, but as we look agin at the…

We are going to be looking at this passage in two parts. There are three things I want to look at specifically as we see Jesus in His last moments of earthly ministry. ‌ Today we are going to examine His Control . Next week we will look at His Compassion, and the Completion of His ministry. ‌ What I want to demonstrate first is that Jesus is in con…

Rob McCrorie teaches from Matthew 5:1-16 -A believers identity in God is crucial to producing kingdom character and kingdom influence.Rob McCrorie által

As we continue following Jesus on the long night of His mock trial the Disciples are now out of the picture, we now have only Jesus, and those who oppose Him -the religious leaders of the Jews, the crowd, and the politicians. Each one is in essence a character study we can learn from, and each one gives us a warning about behavior that we should av…

As we continue in John 14, Jesus is comforting the Disciples who are concerned about His departure.Pastor Jim Jacobson által

The verses we are looking at today are some of the most powerful words in the New Testament. They are hopeful and important words… to the skeptic they may seem to be the most arrogant words ever uttered. They demand our full attention.Pastor Jim Jacobson által

As we close chapter 13, there is a lot going on… Jesus is finishing His thoughts in regard to the example of how He has just served the Disciples by washing their feet, He is addressing the presence of his betrayer, and also, He begins what is called “The Farewell Address” as He prepares His friends for what is next.…

Jesus loves and serves His Disciples, giving us a model to follow.Pastor Jim Jacobson által

Today we are looking at one of the most beautiful and lovely stories in the bible. It’s a story that is so vivid that it appeals to all of our senses. It’s a story of worship and devotion. We are going to look at the five main characters and their roles or contributions to the story: ‌ The Work of Martha The Witness of Lazarus The Worship of Mary T…

John 11 is one of the most significant chapters in the bible. It’s the beautiful and wonderful story of Jesus’ power to raise the dead, even His friend Lazarus. More than that, it’s the picture of the God who cares, the God of compassion, Who in the person of Christ, came near.Pastor Jim Jacobson által

Jesus clarifies His identity to the Jews with boldness for the last time.Pastor Jim Jacobson által

Today we are looking at what is describes as the Parable of the Good Shepherd. Actually it’s not really a parable, but an allegory.

Last week we went over the marks of a true disciple and the benefit of being a true disciple, then we began to look at the three truths that Jesus presented to those He was addressing. The three main truths are these three statements that begin “Truly, truly, I say to you…” they are in verse 34, verse 51, and verse 58. Last week we looked at the fi…

As we continue in John’s gospel we see Jesus teaching in the temple and in today’s study He gives lessons on what it means to be a true believer or a true Disciple, and it is much more than just an association with Him.Pastor Jim Jacobson által
